I'm watching Season 3 now... and I have to admit that I don't like it very much. The bigger budget might be a cool thing for he producers, but I preferred the old, trashy sets and clothes. They were a lot funnier and seemed more... matching for Lister, somehow. The Cat's garderobe used to be a lot more hilarious, too.

Also, my sympathies switched from Lister to Rimmer, although I never thought that would ever happen. But the part where Lister destroyed Rimmer's family trunk, so that he could save his guitar, although it was for his own miserable life (Rimmer being already dead and suff), destroyed the character for me.

Yeah, I'm weird, I know. But I can't help it. I'll go through the third series (I wanna see the polymorph), but rewatching? Only Series 1 and 2.

[livejournal.com profile] the_wild_iris, what do you think about Season 3?

When I first saw Season 3 (in 1990?), it took me a while to get used to the changes - they rebooted so much of the show. Now I'm accustomed to it, I really enjoy it. (I don't particularly like 'Backwards', which is an episode a lot of people seem to love, but I think 'Marooned', 'Polymorph', 'Timeslides' and 'The Last Day' are among the show's best.) I don't think the reboot made the show less good - just different. Others probably disagree :)

I hope you can continue with it, since if you don't like the reboot you won't like the excellent Seasons 4 and 5!

Oh, I'll definitely watch the season to the end - as I said, I want to see the polymorph. But Lister as a character is ruined for me, sadly. I so loved him in the first two seasons - he was a sloppy one, but he wasn't mean and selfish. And I still prefer the crappy sets. But again, I prefer the original STar Trek to all the following shows, too, so I'm probably really weird.

season 2 was the best of all, no question. It had settled in, and not got boring or stale. Kryten was good, in season 3 and later, but a bit like K9 in Dr Who - knew everything, could do anything so what was the point in anyone else being there?

After season 5....I just don't go there.

Please do. I'd like to know what happens in later seasons.

Nice icon, BTW.
